Lubbock, TX restaurant coming under attack for a controversial sign
Posted on 12/15/17 at 7:44 pm

quote:
The neon sign is a caricature of an African-American man, with a porter's cap, with the words Coon Chicken Inn written inside the mouth.
The issue came up after a person attending a company Christmas party on Wednesday night at Cook's Garage noticed the sign hanging on the wall. The person posted the photos on Facebook and got the attention of the owners of Cook's Garage.
quote:
Owners of the restaurant responded to the social media complaint about the sign less than 24 hours later, and their response has gone viral.

Simple solution. Don't like the history that is now on display at the restaurant? Don't eat there.
But I am a chicken man. Love a great fried bird. How is the chickens?

I don't see why this is hard for some people to understand. If you don't like the business then go somewhere else.

I didn't even think black person when I saw it. It looked like Curious George to me.
If someone thought it looked like a black person, they must be racist.

I could maybe understand that if this were a very small town and the dining options were minimal at best. But we're talking about Lubbock.
There are plenty of national chains in the area. Find something else that quenches your palette and doesn't offend you.
If the customers are truly offended and the product is marginal, sales will suffer. But if the product is good, people will come back.
These things tend to take care of themselves.

This plucking country is doomed. Will sever them right.

Racist pigs. Is this Roy Moore’s place?
Check the calendar. It’s not 1957.

There were a total of 4 Coon Chicken Inns. The were located in the racists towns of:
Salt Lake City, UT
Portland, OR

West coast fricks are racist.

Uh, yeah.
Racists spend money too, just like you and I.

Sambo's used to be a national chain similar to Denny's that had to go out of business because their name offended people.
People are very sensitive.

Liberals and SJWs have destroyed the meaning of the term racist. Everything is deemed racist now so screaming it falls on deaf ears for most people. Congrats on diminishing actual acts of racism.
